Synopsis: Wandering minstrel Ashik Kerib falls in love with a rich merchant's daughter, but is spurned by her father and forced to roam the world for a thousand and one nights - but not before he's got the daughter to promise not to marry till his return. It's told in typical Paradjanov style, in a series of visually ravishing 'tableaux vivants' overlaid with Turkish and Azerbaijani folksongs. Written by Michael Brooke {michael@everyman.demon.co.uk}
Alternate Title(s): Ashik Kerib , Ashugi Qaribi , The Hoary Legends of the Caucasus, The Lovelorn Minstrel
